Mike has emailed me to point out smok0.com which shows the top news stories from a number of different news outlets. Apparently he’s making use of the OPML files from my newsfeeds page. Nice to know some of my stuff is useful.

Light Bloggage
I’ve just realised that it’s two weeks today that I go off to this year’s YAPC::Europe and I still have two talks to write – one of which is a three hour tutorial. So don’t expect much writing from me over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be far too busy working on other things.… Continue reading Light Bloggage
Shozu for Nokia Series 60 v3
A version of Shozu has been released for Series 60 version 3. Amongst other things, that means that I can now use Shozu on my Nokia N91. This is good. I never really got on with Lifeblog.
Firefox vs Internet Explorer
A nice rant by Kate Bevan in today’s Guardian technology supplement. She’s fed up of going into corporate clients’ offices and finding that Internet Explorer is the only browser available. Firefox has been available and stable for 18 months. Why do corporate IT departments still insist on forcing IE onto their users? So being dumped… Continue reading Firefox vs Internet Explorer

Fans of Bloom County (and is there anyone who isn’t a fan of Bloom County?) will enjoy these photos of a Banana Jr. 6000.
Dave 2.0
Yesterday I wrote my first Ajax program (it’s for a client and on their intranet, so I can’t link to it). So that’s another buzzword to put on the CV. I couldn’t have done it without Ajax Hacks (which I read on Safari).
Karma Download RIP
Whilst most of the attention is on the BPI’s attack on All Of MP3, another MP3 download site quietly died yesterday. Karma Download is currently showing a page which says that it’s “temporarily suspended”, but I hear that it’s very unlikely to return. That’s a real shame. Like All Of MP3, Karma Download sold its… Continue reading Karma Download RIP
MPs in Digital Downloads Warning
The All Party Internet Group of MPs has been looking at DRM and has now announced it’s results. Their main recommendation is that all digital content should be clearly labelled with details of what you can and can’t do with it. I think this is a great idea. Record companies have been slowly introducing DRM… Continue reading MPs in Digital Downloads Warning
London Javascript Night – Update
As I predicted a couple of weeks ago, the London Javascript Night has proved to be so popular that the original venue wasn’t big enough and a new one has been found. The new details are on the web site, but it’s the New Cavendish St site of Westminster University – the same place as… Continue reading London Javascript Night – Update
Amazon Web Services
I’ve been a bit busy this week, so I haven’t mentioned the Amazon Web Services talk that I went to on Monday evening. Amazon Web Service Evangelist (cool job title) Jeff Barr talked for almost two hours about what Amazon are making available. It was all very interesting and I wish I had more time… Continue reading Amazon Web Services
